Chapter 1527: Like a Rain of Locusts

What does 'calculate' even mean" a burly middle-aged woman with one raised eyebrow said unhappily.

"Di Kun was originally my spirit beast, I didn't willingly send it into the Giant Stone Clan, and I permanently lost my own spirit beast." Lu Xiaotian's face wasn't looking too good.

"I've already introduced myself. You Rock Clan, are you going to fight or not Make a quick decision."

“My name is Tuo Gul Lei. Lu Daoyou is a distinguished guest of my Jueshi clan, so it would be unthinkable for us to draw swords against each other. However, the person behind Lu Daoyou has no connection with my clan, and that's a different matter.” Tuo Gu Lei bowed to Lu Xia Tian and said, “In normal times, even if it were Lu Daoyou’s friend, our clan would treat them with respect. But now is a perilous time. All major clans are vying for entry into the Lingxu Secret Realm, and my clan must also guard against unforeseen threats. Where did this friend come from Perhaps they should return there.”

"We don't even know how we got here, let alone how to go back. If we are not welcome, my friends and I will stay here and not bother anyone." Lu Xiaoteng frowned, "To have an encounter with a noble, it shouldn't be that even a place to stand is denied, right"

"In extraordinary times, we take extraordinary measures. No one is exempt, Lu Daoist being a distinguished guest of our clan, can be spared. However, Lu Daoist's friend is not a friend of our clan. If Lu Daoist insists on keeping this person here, unless he can withstand our volley of arrows!" The burly middle-aged man, Tuo Gu Lei, clasped his fists and said with a hint of apology on his face.

“Accept if you will, and let me see for myself, what makes the Stone Tribe's arrow formation so formidable.” Xiang Kuang’s brows shot up. He was warlike by nature; how could he refuse a challenge from these warriors who were no more than twelve levels high

“The Giant Stone Clan’s battle tactics are unlike any other. You haven’t encountered them before, Brother Kuang, and you've expended quite a bit of energy already. Let me handle this instead.” Lu Xia Tian shook his head, took a step forward, and stood in front of Kuang. “It’s been a long time since I’ve had the pleasure of facing aristocratic martial arts. Come at me.”

"I apologize for the offense! Formation!" Tuo Gu Lei wasted no time, letting out a low growl. Behind him, nine warriors at ranks ten to eleven stood in a line, each standing before a clan member of the golden elixir realm. He drew out a crossbow, but this one and its arrows were several times thicker than those used by the golden elixir realm clan members.

"Drink!" Hundreds of giant clan members roared in unison, giving the impression of a single entity.

"Shoot!" Tuo Gu Lei flung his left hand downward.

"Ha!" the giant clan members roared in unison once more.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh......

With To Ku Lei’s hand sweeping down, hundreds of crossbow arrows flew out like locusts. They converged in the air into a mass.

"Ha!" The first volley of crossbow bolts was still in the air when a second, then a third wave soared skyward.

Dense and overwhelming, the arrows flew like locusts. The rain of arrows from this army of hundreds gave one the feeling of a thousand troops. Their assault, plunging towards him, made Lu Xia Tian feel as if he were in the midst of battle. No matter how he dodged, he couldn't escape this hail of arrows, like a swarm of locusts.

“Blood Armor!” The arrow rain before him was too dense to dodge completely. Instead of wasting time dodging, it was better to confront it head-on. With a thought, a blood-colored armor materialized out of thin air. But the moment the Blood Armor appeared, Lu Xiaotian sensed something different from usual, a breath, the breath of the Dragon Yuan! The pale red light on it flickered erratically, the voice of blood merging with the breath of the Dragon Yuan.

Lu Xia Tian reached out and swatted away a number of arrows. Some still pinged against his Xue Gang battle armor, only to be deflected apart.

"Amazing arrows!" Ever since he refined the dragon essence, Blood Gang Armor's power seemed to have increased by another level. However, these arrows, resembling gold and stone, possessed an incredibly strong penetrating force. Especially those fired by the tenth- and eleventh-rank warriors, if an ordinary cultivator were to face them, they would probably be exposed after just the first volley.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

The nine Tenfold and Elevenfold Giant Stone warriors' arrows swelled against the wind, like mighty thunderbolts shooting through the air, accompanied by a howling gale.

Nine arrows lined up in a row, like a long serpent choosing its victim.

“Good work!” Lu Yuan could practically feel the changes happening within himself every day. With a wave of his hands, a mystical transformation occurred, and Lu Xiaotian felt a surge of power within him, brimming with an intense urge to break free.

Both hands each appeared with a dazzling red light. The red light from the left hand twisted and vaguely formed a giant rhinoceros, while the red light from the right hand twisted and gradually formed a ferocious bear.

Lu Xiaitian's hands moved in a complex and mysterious manner, then pushed forward simultaneously.

"Moo" "Roar!"

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Two balls of red light merged together and violently charged forward, momentarily taking the shape of a raging rhinoceros, charging wildly. In a blink, it transformed into a standing crimson bear warrior.

However, the fused crimson light did not cease. Instead, it continued to twist and contort, finally forming a monstrous creature that was half-bear, half-rhinoceros, with an utterly terrifying visage. In Lu Xia Tian's eyes, this fusion of crimson light was far from complete, already comparable in power to the giant arrows fired by Stone Clan warriors ranked ten or higher.

A deafening boom resonated through the air. The colossal shockwave sent a rain of arrows fired by nearby Golden Core warriors spiraling away like autumn leaves caught in a gale.

“What kind of martial arts is this” Not only were the warriors of the Giant Stone clan shocked, but even Xiang Kuang, who considered himself quite familiar with Lu Xiaoteng's combat prowess, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at what he saw. Lu Xiaoteng's strike just now seemed somewhat hasty, and the attack was far from fully formed. With Xiang Kuang's keen eyesight, he could naturally see that there was a lot of room for growth, but he couldn't figure out where this technique came from, nor had he ever heard of it before. Yet, it possessed such immense power.

In fact, let alone a rampage, even Lu Xia Tian couldn't quite explain it himself. If he had to say, it should be the Melting Souls technique, but Melting Souls only had a corresponding concept and didn't introduce the practical application. And right now, Lu Xia Tian wasn't using any demonic beast spirits at all. Instead, it was his Blood Gang transformation.

The two demonic forms created with the power of blood essence, then allowing these two completely different entities to merge, the resulting power was even greater than before. Lu XiaTian had a sudden inspiration and didn't expect that "Fusion Souls" could be used in this way.

“I don’t know either, let’s just say it’s self-created.” Lu Xia Tian chuckled. He originally thought that cultivating Rong Hun required collecting a large number of demon beast souls for repeated experiments. Now, fighting with the Giant Stone warriors gave him another path.

The explosion in the air continued, the Giant Stone Clan warriors' array of arrows was extraordinary. The monster that resembled both a bear and a rhinoceros twisted in mid-air after crashing seven arrows. Two more still streaked through the air, Lu Xia Tian caught one with his bare hand, while the other directly hit Lu Xia Tian's chest. However, Lu Xia Tian's body suspended in mid-air didn't even tremble. The arrow was reflected back to the ground.ned once again.The Flying Peregrine Warship, with Lu Xia Tian's abundant supply of spirit stones, maintained an incredibly high speed. This resulted in the warship consuming spirit stones at maximum...
